Transient brain activity dynamics discriminate levels of consciousness during anesthesia

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Elvira Pirondini, Ayberk Ozkirli

The awake mammalian brain is functionally organized in terms of large-scale distributed networks that are constantly interacting. Loss of consciousness might disrupt this temporal organization leaving patients unresponsive. We hypothesize that characterizi ...

Prior exercise in humans redistributes intramuscular GLUT4 and enhances insulin -stimulated sarcolemmal and endosomal GLUT4 translocation

Objective: Exercise is a cornerstone in the management of skeletal muscle insulin-resistance. A well-established benefit of a single bout of exercise is increased insulin sensitivity for hours post-exercise in the previously exercised musculature. Although ...

IoT Bio-Electronic Multi-Panel Device for On-line Monitoring of Anaesthesia Delivery

Francesca Stradolini

After a failure of "One-Size-Fits-All" approach on traditional treatment of diseases, the age of multi-faceted personalized medicine came into being for tailoring therapy to get the best response in the highest safety margin. Personalized drug dosage is on ...

Energy metabolism in the rat cortex under thiopental anaesthesia measured

Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Nathalie Just, Sarah Catherine Sonnay

Barbiturates, commonly used as general anaesthetics, depress neuronal activity and thus cerebral metabolism. Moreover, they are likely to disrupt the metabolic support of astrocytes to neurons, as well as the uptake of nutrients from circulation. By employ ...

Allosteric cross-talk in chromatin can mediate drug-drug synergy

Paul Joseph Dyson, Ursula Röthlisberger, Tina Riedel, Giulia Palermo

Exploitation of drug-drug synergism and allostery could yield superior therapies by capitalizing on the immensely diverse, but highly specific, potential associated with the biological macromolecular landscape. Here we describe a drug-drug synergy mediated ...

Compartmentalised energy metabolism supporting glutamatergic neurotransmission in response to increased activity in the rat cerebral cortex: A 13C MRS study in vivo at 14.1 T

Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Nathalie Just, Sarah Catherine Sonnay

Many tissues exhibit metabolic compartmentation. In the brain, while there is no doubt on the importance of functional compartmentation between neurons and glial cells, there is still debate on the specific regulation of pathways of energy metabolism at di ...

Glutamatergic and GABAergic energy metabolism measured in the rat brain by 13C NMR spectroscopy at 14.1 T

Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte

Energy metabolism supports both inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmission processes. This study investigated the specific contribution of astrocytic metabolism to γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) synthesis and inhibitory GABAergic neurotransmission that remain ...

Deep thiopental anesthesia alters steady-state glucose homeostasis but not the neurochemical profile of rat cortex

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei

Barbiturates are regularly used as an anesthetic for animal experimentation and clinical procedures and are frequently provided with solubilizing compounds, such as ethanol and propylene glycol, which have been reported to affect brain function and, in the ...

Modeling the Gabaergic Action of Etomidate on the Thalamocortical System

Sean Lewis Hill

BACKGROUND: We have used a computational model of the thalamocortical system to investigate the effects of a GABAergic anesthetic (etomidate) on cerebral cortical and thalamic neuronal function. We examined the effects of phasic an tonic inhibition, as wel ...

Chloramphenicol decreases brain glucose utilization and modifies the sleep-wake cycle architecture in rats

Pierre Magistretti, Jean-Marie Petit

We studied the effects of chloramphenicol on brain glucose utilization and sleep-wake cycles in rat. After slightly anaesthetized animals were injected with [18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose, we acquired time-concentration curves from three radiosensitive beta ...
